Dog Walking Elmwood

About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.

“Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.”

Unofficially I have 10+ years of experience taking care of an assortment of pet’s due to growing up in a “zoo”. Growing up my family would get a new pet every month of the year and each one demanded different requirements. Believe me I know about giving quality time around the clock. When it comes to activeness as well as my communication I take great pride in it, that’s why I’ll have no problem updating you on your pet’s with handfuls of pictures included. Being able to spend time with animals that’s suppose to act like animals gives me peace of mind and I look forward to meeting them. Around last year I graduated with my associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation however I found myself bouncing around jobs before working in childcare until I can become my on boss. I’m looking forward to meeting both you and your beloved pet. Boardings and Drop In’s I’m always around to help. ANY QUESTIONS IN MIND? GOT A PET THAT’S NOT A CAT OR DOG BUT STILL REQUIRES CARE?

I’m available from 7am to hours late into the night during the week and weekend. My home is available for care as well as your own to broaden your options. Though I don’t have my own vehicle my communication skills and experience with public transportation allows me to stay punctual. Any size cat is in my comfort zone, for dog’s I’ll be sticking with small-medium. If your pet has a routine you’d like to keep intact I’m more then willing to stick to it to provide normalcy and training to them

I would watch Rocco(the Boston terroir in the photos) for years. Now I watch Phinn and Fern(The Frenchie and chihuahua ) for him and my step mom when ever they need it. I have a pet cat of my own named AK, he is the maine coon cat. We live with two other cats I help take care of as well as dog I help walk around who is a black lab named Konan after Konan coffee. Please shoot me a message! I love big dogs little dogs all kinds as well as all kinds of cats! Will be happy to answer any questions. I'm only working part time right now and my schedule is super flexible. I am available whenever is needed. Shoot me a message and we can discuss! I have a small fenced in backyard for Konan. Most of the time i just let her go to the bathroom out there but we go for walks at least once a day. The cats will also hang out in our little backyard. Would be more then willing to walk clients dogs of course.

“Callie was the only reason we were able to get through the very young puppy stage with our Belgian Shepherd mix Clove. Callie walked Clove daily from when Clove was 2 months old to four months. Callie was clear and communicative about her schedule from the beginning, clearly outlining her availability with more than a month's advance notice. She let us know about any issues (all normal puppy stuff, but always helpful to know!) Callie is reliable, responsible, and kind. We loved that she left treats and a sweet note at the end of our first week. Callie gets our highest recommendation, and we'll continue to request Callie for one-off dog walks in the future!”

“Bah is super friendly and communicative!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I grew up with all three in the home and feel comfortable with the more challenging situations, such as senior animals or puppies in need of training, medically complex pets, or skittish animals. I'm a runner and hiker, and I love taking pets with me if they are up for the exercise, though I am equally happy to lounge around to give belly rubs! I am currently a full time student; I have one class a day and a graduate assistant position that allows me to work remotely. I have plenty of daytime availability that allows me to take your pet on walks or keep them company in your home. I am punctual, dedicated, and patient. I'm happy to set up face-to-face meetings before booking to meet you and your pet to see if I am the right fit. My own routine is flexible and I have no problem adapting to meet the needs of your pet.

About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, so I know how special they are to their owners. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets for years! I have always had a love for animals and will treat yours as one of my own. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work 8-4 Monday through Friday but work from home most of the week! I am available all day Saturday and Sunday to check in or walk your pups! I also have a car to transport your pup if needed. While watching your pup in your home, I will make sure they are safe and comfortable, as if you are there with them! If watching them in mine, I will be ensure they are cared for and played with.

About: Hi! I'm Jacqui, and I've always loved being around animals. I understand that pets are family, so I believe they deserve patience, kindness, and lots of attention while you're away. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions, whether that's administering medications, sticking to feeding schedules, taking long walks, or giving extra playtime and cuddles. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Professionally, I work in a role where trust, communication, and reliability are essential, so you can count on me to provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your booking. I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pet. I welcome dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to accommodate their unique routines and needs. My goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they have a fun, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I work full time from home. So I have the flexibility any day of the week and time of day for walks, overnights, and weekends. I have a backyard and front yard, and my neighborhood is walkable for extended time outside. I also have a cat who is 4 years old, so my home is welcome to any pets that get alone with others if an overnight stay is desired.

“Michael is a reliable, professional, and caring dog walker who looks after my senior dog in a very thoughtful and responsible manner. He is easy to communicate with and lets me know how my dog is doing while they're together. I can't recommend Michael more highly! He makes the whole process easy and puts my mind at ease!”

He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 10 (I'm now 25), and am often asked to pet sit and care for the pets of others. I have been known for my genuine and passionate love for animals ever since I was a kid. I've taken care of all kinds of animals, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and honestly enjoy doing it! My schedule is flexible, and I'm therefore able to work with you and your schedule accordingly, to best fit the needs of your pet and provide their required care! I care for pets by investing my time and attention. Keeping a watchful eye, and being attentive to their needs. I understand that caring for a pet is a commitment, although this kind of work is not difficult for me since it's something that I enjoy and have extensive experience in! Each pet is also different and unique in their own way (similar to humans), so I understand that, depending on the animal I'm dealing with, their individual needs will differ! In this sense, I adapt accordingly to each unique requirement.

About: I'm an animal lover and current cat owner. My older Mozzie and I have been together for the past 11 years; while my youngest Bowser is a little over 2 years old. I previously owned a beautiful black pitty mix named Kirby who passed away tragically young but have a 5 year old small long haired mutt pup named Sage who currently lives with me. I live in a house with a large backyard (for the city) with my wife. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, lizards and rodents - I love ALL animals (not just the fuzzy kind) and as a fellow pet owner would love to help those out when needed; I understand the pain of the crunch of looking for an apt sitter to care for your pet. I’m available for basic animal care tasks such as sitting, walking and stop ins. I also am experienced with medication management including administering injections. I live full time in Southwest Philadelphia where I work from home 95% of the time. When I am in the office it’s typically on a Wednesday and I can flex the hours if needed, which I often do for our own pets. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work fully remotely which provides me a good amount of flexibility during the work week. I typically work 9-5 but am available to take breaks independently to do drop ins or walks. Depending on the service requested, I am open to discussion if different availability is needed. I will treat your animal like my own. I respect what the animal wants: want cuddles? I'll be their spoon. Want some alone time? I'll be in ear-distance respecting space but close enough to hear a whimper, bark, cry, or meow. While an animal will determine how I interact, I encourage play in addition to regular feedings, cleaning or cuddling.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was in high school! I am extremely reliable and being around pets truly brightens my day! I can walk, feed, bathe, play, and will gladly assist with any other of you or your fur babies needs! I currently work full time in the evenings, my weekends vary but with enough advance I can make about any situation work for the both of us! :) I live in the East Falls neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks and a nearby playground! Should your pet be more on the reactive side, I will be sure to keep space from other pets as well.
